As Cheap and Simple as IDS Himself

In the interests of transparency, the Department of Workfare and Privation has declined to publish the sixty peer reviews which have been carried out in relation to shirker suicides. A judicial review in May 2013 concluded that the mentally ill are "substantially disadvantaged" by the work capability assessment, and the DWP and its henchbeings at ATOS Healthcare are still awaiting a final judgement on what should be done about it, which they can then fail to implement on whatever grounds seem reasonable to the brilliant Iain Duncan Smith. A spokesbeing was careful to note that "a peer review in itself does not necessarily mean that mistakes were made", and of course shirker suicides remain one of the more cost-effective means which the coalition has discovered for lowering the rate of unemployment.
